@@hypemaine9155 I saw only a few attempts in the first season game to set up screens ... and they were pathetic. Clark's passes are much more effective when the receiver of those passes is prepared for it. They are reactionary instead of being proactive. Sides believes in her players running around haphazardly hoping that they get lucky. PRACTICE setting up effective screens with repetitive drills. The same with drills for proactive passes to include running to open spaces relatively free from defensive players. The Fever players camp out under or near the basket no matter if they are open or not. They need to develop quick hands and quick reactions ... that comes from drills to develop those skills. The players are capable, but the coach is not. I have seen high school teams with better offensive skills and that is Christie Sides' fault. She is not doing her job. She is using the same failed tactics that got the Fever a 13-27 win-loss record in the 2023-24 season. But go ahead and keep sucking up to the racist divas.
@@hypemaine9155Take a group photo of all in the WNBA, close your eyes, put your finger on the photo and you have a 70% chance of it landing on a racist. Do you really want me to break your heart by posting the evidence?
@@trevonricks5975 It doesn't change the fact these talking heads are tip-toeing around the obvious: She got hyped to death in college and the league is desperately looking for a new face to represent them.
Problem is CC has to be good RIGHT NOW...while everyone is still watching. That's a LOT of pressure! But that's also what the media basically promised everyone.
… no she doesn’t but 10 turnovers is crazy! The problem is yall fans acting like there isn’t a learning curve plus yall bitch when the coach start to coach
@@mopar_keys nope. Unless you are speaking about CC fans and the media, many fans said there is a learning curve, as did players like DT. CC fans and media said otherwise. For the WNBA, media and her fans, she needs to dominate now, because they have, as mentioned or alluded to, sold that to people. Most fans know she has to have time to develop.

@tuckerj456 They thought homie they drafted was going to change that and come to find out average at best and need the weight room more then it needs her lol
She gonna be straight.. Short off season, just got to adjust to the speed and how physical it is. She able to score, pass and gonna get better at protecting the ball
Lol LeBron has had the biggest hype in hoops history and did the Cavs made the playoffs in his rookie yr? Did he play like prime Garnett, Tim or Kobe right away making Cavs an automatic contender? Y'all daren't thinking we'll😂
@@nassiglutt6587 Listen I think she will be just fine, but knock it off - Lebron was great right away when he came into the league. There was no 'adjustment' period. Cut it out.
@@nassiglutt6587 Lebron was 19 as a rookie coming straight out of high school… Clark is 22 and just spent 4 years in college.. Tf are you talking about? Lebron has had only 2 games with 10+ turnovers in 1,492 NBA games… Imagine being dumb enough to bring up one of the greatest played of all time in a conversation about Caitlin Clark..
Reese isn't supposed to save the WNBA like Clark is. Reese fans most realize Reese is not on the same level. And in reality Reeses double doubles and awkward lay ups and post moves aint going save or boost the WNBA significantly. Clark style of play has garnered her the attention
Candace Parker and Maya Moore are two of the few who came in as rookies and dominated. CC ain’t there yet and will take her a while to get up there. Media overhyping her doesn’t help her either lol.
Yeah many people saying this now but when she won this wasn’t the tone(not saying you were one of the ones). Dudes LITERALLY was saying she was the best WNBA player before she even got picked. But like you said they were just fooling themselves and showing a casual at work I guess😂
@@jmf9888even those 2 had bad games as a rookie. The media is overhyping her but some of y’all doing the same the opposite way in making it like she isn’t ready. She was doubled all game by pros, even the 2 legends you named didn’t face that coming in
@@lilikaramirez1848 On a poor 5-15 shooting with 10 turnovers. That's a terribly inefficient stat line and the main reason she lost the game. Jacking up 3s like she did in college won't get it done in the WNBA
I get where Rachel is coming from but there have been numerous female athletes who had bigger pressure than CC and handled their business from day 1. Serena and Venus come to mind.
@tastic1748 I think she’s making it more than what most ppl who watch sports see it as. A rookie who didn’t have a very good game. If she thinks clark is going to boost the popularity and revenue of the wnba I think she’s wrong. But we’ll see
This is a humbling moment not for Clark but her fan base. These guys ran around saying shes better than half the league snd seriously believe she would be mvp this year . Obnoxious fans need to just let her play she gets this hate because if her fans because in reality she seems like a great person
I said it back when she was in college and I will say it again...I feel bad for her because she was getting called the GOAT in college which no other player man or women was given that status without solidifying themselves in the pro league. Her fans set that bar for her not her she is just playing ball like she always does and before when I would bring up this her fans would defend her like I had something against her. No, Im speaking facts and prematurely calling a person a GOAT without even playing a pro level doesnt know the game.
There’s nothing nervous about 20points on her debut, especially how her teammates were playing. No screens on one of the best defenders in the league guarding Caitlyn being double teamed, coach sides has no clue
That sucks on the part where only 13 out of 36 girls that were drafted was locked into the roster and the other 23 just what play overseas and hope something works out that's bs right there
Fever not adjusting offense to Catlin style of play. She did score 20 off the best defense in WNBA. You can fix the turn overs. She already got the shot. Team mates need to also contribute to scoring.
This goes to show you that y’all not watching the games lol. The coach is definitely letting Clarke play her game. Clarke just bricking every shot you pretty much take
You got it Skip!!! Y'all have literally assassinated anyone who dared to bring some balance to this situation. There's a learning curve on every level. Y'all stop putting all this pressure on her please. Let her develop !!! You literally made her the second coming of Christ and now yall sound so sad!!! The uSA women are the best basketball players on the planet ; I can't believe y'all set her up to think she was just gone stroll in and take over!!! Y'all even tore down Coach Sides for telling her the truth about what's coming!!!! Shes going to have to make quick assertive decisions after the screen and or picks!!! The hesitation has to stop . The nerve trying to fire her for being honest!!!
Basketball is a lot. It is such an aggressive sport…sometimes you have to be able to take one for the team. I got a mouth bleed one time. But it’s also a mental sport (IQ is necessary) cause you have to be able to read other players and understand their motive. Mental and physical ability is a necessity.
"Oh my god Keyshawn Johnson makes terrible takes" (Not even in the segment) I know some npc bozo was waiting to type this because they can't formulate an opinion themselves.
Lets just ignore that she is on a completely new team. New coaching staff. Only been together for a couple months. And act like it doesn’t take time to build chemistry.
Kelsey Plum said it too on Macafee's show, her first season she sucked. I'm confident tho she'll get it together by the end of the season, and next season we're getting that championship
No CC need to adjust to the WNBA defenses! It’s different she not going to be threading the needle on them passes anymore! She need to make sure the person is open!
@@nrobinson7542 agree, but Boston needs to up her game, as well. Girl can’t run the court for one. Plus, other team members just letting CC fight off the double teaming til she has no option but to unload the ball blindly towards the paint. Thought I was watching a local YMCA game…pathetic team display.
There are levels to this shit.. biggest thing is that two things are true, she will be a solid player in the W and she will have a learning curve its simple shit. idk why its always blown out by majority of the people that know jack shit about ball let alone womens ball
CC's problem is obvious-it's right there on film. All thru college CC wore a black headband; this game she wore a white one. The headband threw off her whole game-LOL
She just needs time. She will break every record eventually in the WNBA like she DID in college. Every one who thinks not is full of hate, racist and very very very young. She will be the best of the best.
5-15 Field Goals, 2 pointers and 3 pointers. 4-11 3 point field goals, so 1-4 2 point field goals. That’s 12 + 2 = 14 points and then in this video they said she made 6 free throws 14+ 6= 20.
This team is so much slower than Iowa. So it's not just her that has to learn...those other girls need to catch up to HER!!! It looks to me like there is almost zero team chemistry. Some of the calls by the coach were also quite questionable. There are girls on the bench that would be waaaaay better suited to her game. Let's not forget that her assist numbers would be way up, but Bosten missed a bunch of easy 2's right under the basket. The whole team needs to play with desperation every single game. Other than the turnovers, which I would put at about 50% her fault, she dropped 20. Almost 3/4 of the teams total points...and against the top defensive team in the league. The coach needs to let her play her game and control the floor. You don't sign the highest scorer in NCAA history and then try to change her game.
It's 1 game , people are so ADD these days. Last week , Shaq, SAS, Perkins all said the Nuggets were getting swept. I will wait and see if Caitlin is a bust, but I can tell you this. She is paid
Obviously once she got out of college where the competition was thin she was going to diminish into just another decent player. Now let’s watch those ratings plummet back down to where they should be and have a nice day 😂
Why you all media talk about Caitlin 10 TO and not Boston only scorung 4 points? Seriously a whole game only 4 points...Wallace same, Berger same...so this is the just critique Caitlin but not say a word about how bad the rest of the team played! By the way...many if those TO are the receiver fault.
People are funny!!! EVERYBODY was killing Taurasi when she said there were levels to this.. They called her a hater and she was jealous... Now all of a sudden everybody says, it's gonna take a while.
The WNBA is not Iowa and it’s amazing how so many people are comparing Iowa to the fever. You are the reason why this young lady is looking bad. I’m talking about the media you continue to push, but don’t push other players that deserve equal if not more attention such as Angel Reese and Cardoza.
She was overhyped and WNBA players did not like that. LSU and USC in the Championships did not neither. Let her play and stop overhyping this young lady. In the Championships, she had a total of 10 turnovers and shot 35%. Yes, pressure affects her at this age.
lol she only needs to learn to slow the game down develop a midrange jumper cause the midrange is always open for her but all she does is shoot 3s and drive the ball. As she develops that and it starts to slow down for her she’s going to be box office! Think about it if she had a bad game and dropped 21 imagine when it all starts coming together for her? Scary hours for the league
lol Rachel trippin. That 250 of men is out of a pool of maybe 5k that are good enough to play pro at some level. 200 of woman is prob out of 600 who are capable of being pro. Sure the league is smaller, but imagine the quality of play if they had 32 teams instead of 8 or w/e lol. They wouldn’t be able to roster more than 10 teams lol. NBA could roster 40 teams easy and still be elite
Let's be honest... way to much pressure has been put on CC from the start as the savior of WNBA. That aside, her team is not good. Boston only have a few points is not good. It seems like there was either a lack of game plan or a poor game plan, which is a coaching issue. The players seemed to just be wondering around on the court. When CC started playing "her game", it seemed like she settled in a lot more, and gained confidence. But, if CC had her "worst game", and still was the highest scorer on the team.... that says something. But like everyone has said, its her first game... CC had 20 points, needs to protect the ball much better and get used to the faster and more physical play in WNBA, which she will... and she could/should be the superstar that she is.
